  2. TMA Timeline -1924: Moschcowitz presented first published example of idiopathic TTP before New York Pathological Society [1,2] -1952: Thrombotic Microangiopathy first described in by Symmers [3] -1965: Familial Atypical HUS first described in combination of hemolytic anemia & azotemia in concordant monozygous twins [4] -1974: Reduced serum levels of complement fraction C3 with normal levels of C4 reported in patients with atypical HUS[5-7] -1976: Bukowski et al published experience w/whole blood exchange transfusion, w/8 /14 TTP patients w/TTP achieving prompt remissions lasting several months to >13 yrs[8] -1981: investigators described two brothers with atypical HUS w/complete complement factor H (CFH) deficiency [9]; parents, who were first cousins, had half-normal CFH levels, indicating inherited defect. -1982: Moake linked von Willebrand factor (VWF) to the pathogenesis of TTP, recognizing circulating “ultralarge” VWF multimers in relapsing acquired or congenital TTP patients in remission [10] -1996: candidate VWF-cleaving protease requiring fluid shear stress or low protein denaturant concentration identified in human plasma by Tsai [11] & independently by Furlan [12] -1997: VWF-cleaving protease demonstrated missing from congenital TTP patients' plasma [13] -1998: Goodship ‘s investigative group [14] showed association b/w atypical HUS & chromosome 1q32 locus, containing genes for CFH and other complement regulators -1998: Adults with acquired idiopathic TTP reported to have severe VWF-cleaving protease deficiency caused by IgG autoantibodies that inhibit the enzyme [15,16] -2001: VWF-cleaving protease purified, cloned, and named ADAMTS13 [17-22] because it belonged to the recently discovered “a disintegrin-like and metalloproteasemetalloprotease with thrombospondin repeats” family of metalloproteases [24] -2001: Mutations in the ADAMTS13 gene shown to cause congenital TTP [21] 12.

  4. Thrombotic Microangiopathy -pathological term used to describe occlusive microvascular thrombus formation1 -first described in 1952 by Symmers2 -Pathological features: --vessel wall thickening --swelling and detachment of the endothelial cell from the basement membrane --accumulation of material in the subendothelial space --intraluminal platelet thrombosis --partial or complete vessel luminal obstruction and fragmentation of red blood cells 3–6 1.

  9. Thrombotic Microangiopathy:Clinical Asociations --consumptive thrombocytopenia --microangiopathic hemolytic anemia --features of organ ischemia1 --symptoms produced depend on the vascular bed and organ affected --most commonly associated with Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) and Thrombotic Thrombocytopaenic Purpura (TTP)2 1.

  10. Is it TTP or HUS? --Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS): TMA predominantly seen in the glomeruli; results in acute renal insufficiency* --Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP): neurological endothelial cells predominantly affected; therefore neurological features seen* --TTP and HUS often considered together: ----similar etiology ----overlap in clinical symptoms (neurological features in HUS; renal problems in TTP) ----many patients best described as TTP-HUS (Up To Date): severe neurologic sx (seizures & coma) with acute renal failure; *Tsai HM (2006) The molecular biology of thrombotic microangiopathy.

  15. Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura:A New Disease Discovery -In Jan.1 & Feb. 19242Moschcowitzpresented 1st known case before New York Pathological Society: “a hitherto undescribed disease” “remarkable, clinically and anatomically” -Case: Healthy 16-year-old girl w/initial sx ----sudden arm weaknessarms ----pain w/wrist and elbow movement ----pallor ----fever (38°C-39°C) -Symptoms worsened; Day #10 illness, admitted w/findings ----anemia ----leukocytosis ----a few petechiae on one arm ----occult blood in gastric contents and stool ----nl serum creatinine -Day #14 illness: ----mild left hemiparesis and facial paralysis -Day #15 illness: ----became comatose and died -On limited autopsy: hyaline thrombi in terminal arterioles and capillaries of heart, kidney, spleen, and liver; the lungs were spared -No platelet count obtained; -no report of schistocytes; -therefore not complete description of thrombocytopenia or microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (Nonetheless, recognized as first published example of idiopathic TTP) 1.

  23. Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP):History of Pathogenesis Elucidation -TTP treated successfully x 20 yrs w/plasma exchange before mechanism understood1 -In 1982, TTP patients recognized to have circulating ultra-large multimers of von Willebrand factor during remission (as multimers not in healthy people, TTP patients were hypothesized to lack protease to cleave ultra-large multimers)2 -TTP now known to be disorder of von Willebrand factor (vWF) regulation3 1.

  24. Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) Pathogenesis: von Willebrand factor (vWF) -glycoprotein produced by endothelial cells -regulates platelet aggregation and adhesion -released from endothelial cells as ultralarge multimers (UL-vWF) when vascular injury occurs -Some multimers remain associated with endothelial cell surface (providing platelet-binding sites) -Multimers may bind other blood components too, (e.g. leukocytes) -Platelet binding to UL-vWF regulated by the metalloprotease ADAMTS13 (a-disintegrin-like and metalloprotease and thrombospondin repeats) -deficiency of ADAMTS 13 accounts for majority of patients with congenital TTP -majority of acquired cases occur due to antibody formation against ADAMTS 131 1.

  28. Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS):Epidemiology -More commonly seen in children rather than adults -most common cause of pediatric acute renal failure -occurs most frequently in children under the age of 5 years -annual incidence of 6.1 cases per 100,000 children under 5 years -affects 0.2 - 4.28 people per 100,000 worldwide1 1.

J Am Soc Nephrol 2005; 16:1035-50

  29. Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Classification -A) Typical -More than 90% of cases in children -secondary to infection with ---1) Escherichia coli serotypes O157:H7, O111:H8, O103:H2, O123, O26, or others, which produce Shiga-like toxin (Stx) 1 ---2) several other bacteria, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae.2 -B) Atypical -Approximately 10% of cases in children -not caused by either Stx-producing bacteria or streptococci.1,3 -poor prognosis: ---1) death rates as high as 25%3 ---2) progression to end-stage renal disease in half the patients.1,2 -Research has linked to uncontrolled activation of the complement system. -more commonly associated with extra-renal effects than typical HUS4 *Stx-related lesions indistinguishable from atypical form via standard histologic analysis. 4,5 1.

  36. Shigatoxin/Diarrhea-associated HUS:Pathogenesis -Stx-producing serotypes (E. coli O157:H7, O111, nonmotile O26:H11, O103:H2) may produce large amts of Stx -Stx traverse polarized gastrointestinal epithelial cells via transcellular pathways1, to systemic circulation (However, Free toxin has never been detected HUS patient's circulation) -Shiga toxin's high-affinity cellular target: Globotriaosylceramide (Gb3)2 -Gb3: glycosphingolipid receptor on human endothelial cells, podocytes and tubular cells -Podocytes, proximal tubule cells, glomerular endothelial cells all sensitive to Stx cytotoxicity. -In vitro, Stx rapidly binds with low-affinity to polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) (not erythrocytes, monocytes, platelets, or lipoproteins)3 -PMN Stx receptor 100-fold lower affinity than high-affinity receptor Gb3 expressed on glomerular endothelial cells. -in in vitro cocultures, PMNs Stx to glomerular endothelial cells, which promote cell death3 (in vivo would explain rapid clearance of Stx from circulation and release to target organs) 1.

  39. Streptococcal pneumoniae-related HUS Pathogenesis: Thomsen–Friedenreich (TF) crypt antigen -found on surface of erythrocytes, platelets and glomerular endothelial cells -normally masked by neuraminic acid -neuraminidase (produced by all serotypes of S. pneumoniae) cleaves n-acetyl neuraminic acid from cell surface, exposing TF antigen -host in response produces IgM antibodies, which bind to the TF antigen -Immune response cascade ensues, culminating in HUS (red cells, platelets, glomerular endothelial cell damaged) -TF antigen also found on hepatocytes (explains hepatic dysfunction in some patients) Keir L, Coward RJ.

  42. Atypical HUS Association with Complement System Abnormalities -Since 1974, reduced serum levels of complement fraction C3 with normal levels of C4 reported in patients with atypical HUS, reflecting complement activation and consumption.1-3 -Genetic abnormalities in complement system proteins documented in both familial and sporadic forms 4-11 -Two patients with Stx-related HUS reported with mutations in complement regulatory genes 10,12 -Mutations in complement pathway have been found to account for 50 to 60% of cases of atypical HUS13 1.

  43. Overview of Complement System in Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome -Consists of plasma and membrane-bound proteins that protect against invading organisms.1 -Composed of three activation pathways — classic, lectin, and alternative -Pathways produce protease complexes termed C3 and C5 convertases that cleave C3 and C5, leading to the membrane-attack complex -C3 convertases of the classic and lectin pathways are formed by C2 and C4 fragments -Alternative pathway convertase cleaves C3 but not C4.1 -C3 hydrolysis in plasma initiates the alternative pathway, leading to the deposition of C3b onto almost all plasma-exposed surfaces 2 1.

  45. Overview of Complement System in Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (cont’d) -On host cells, membrane-anchored and fluid-phase regulators control complement activation : ----favoring the cleavage of C3b to inactive C3b (iC3b) by complement factor I (CFI) activity ----dissociating the multicomponent C3 and C5 convertases (i.e., decay-acceleration activity). -Without normal regulation, C3b deposition: ----increases by more than a factor of 20 through the amplification loop1 ----causes activation of the complement cascade, which remains active until complement components are consumed. -Foreign targets and injured cells are attacked by complement due to: ----a) inability to bind soluble regulators ----b) no membrane-bound regulators . -On the surface of bacteria, C3b binds to specific receptors on neutrophils and macrophages, resulting in phagocytosis of complement-tagged bacteria. -Therefore in a patient with atypical HUS, low serum C3 level with normal C4 level indicates selective alternative pathway activation 2 1.

  48. Laboratory & Pathological Evidence of Complement Abnormalities in Atypical HUS -HUS patients w/low serum C3 levels have high levels of activated complement components, including C3b, C3c, and C3d.1 -Granular C3 deposits in glomeruli & arterioles during acute disease C/W activation of complement & local C3 consumption. 2,3 -C9 staining in glomeruli & small arteries with intimal proliferation and thrombosis suggests activation up to the final lytic C5b-9 membrane-attack complex.4 1.
